Cracking a pack of sports cards a day for 365

Welcome to the 25th day of my Wax Cracker project. It’s hard to believe I have been at this almost a month already. While working on the project I have come up with a few ideas to work in as I go forward. I will have some minor tweaks over the coming weeks that will make this project even more exciting.

I’ve pulled some more cards from my collection as I promised I would do in my last post. I’ll be taking pictures of them today for a post that I will put up later today. Take come pictures of your cards and share them with me. You can Tweet @Sportsman_kc or email me at waxcracker1@gmail.com. I’ll include any sports card pictures I receive with my post later.

For now, let’s crack some wax from the near bottom of the box. Here are the cards from today’s pack:

Base Cards

Other than the Beltre there’s wasn’t anything special in the Base Cards.

Bowman Prospect Cards

I need to put a little bit of research into the Medrano card with the flag in the background. I have pulled a few cards like this one and I believe they might be a variant of the base card. If you know, please leave a comment below. I have been back into collecting for a few years, but I still have plenty to learn about all the varieties of cards that are out now.

Gold Card

Overall, this was a MEH pack, on the verge of a NAH. The Buckel, Beltre, and Medrano cards saved this pack from a NAH rating.

Time to grab some more pictures of the cards I will post later tonight. I hope you all have a great Saturday. Crack some wax or share some of your favorite hits with me. I am looking forward to seeing what you all send in.

On January 1. 2014 I set out to open a pack of sports cards a day for the next year and document the experience. I am an avid sports fan and sports card collector of preferably autographs and relic cards.

the flag cards are States and City parallels… they highlight a flag from the player’s state or his hometown. that was an Alex Meyer friendly retail box… he’s the pitcher with the most upside if he can improve his mechanics… should be a monster in two years. I got a red ice variation of /25 and an autograph in the same jumbo box (will show pic on twitter)

Thanks for the reply, Patrick. I appreciate you explaining the parallels. There have been a lot of Meyer’s in this box. I am looking forward to seeing the picture of the red ice variation. Do you care if I take the Twitter pic and repost it to Wax Cracker?
